Mammoth task today with that starting 11

People have been calling for geldhart to start for a few weeks. Shame Rafina is out. He's our main threat. Is he injured? Or just fatigued from international games?

Ill apparently not injured.
Much much better from Harrison and James today.
Not sure why our best player in Forshaw is subbed for the worse player at the club in Roberts.
Along with Gelhardt subbed for another fooking winger.
Two baffling decisions but maybe it`s just me.
KP had Kane in his pocket for most of the game and Forshaw showing what we`ve been missing.

Did well today Leeds. Spurs lucky imo. We keep that going and we’ll be absolutely fine. These bloody injuries need to stop though.

Only saw 1st 55 mins as NFL is more important to me but 1st Leeds looked very good while Spurs looked awful.

As you say Harrison and Forshaw played well but Phillips at centre back played very well. He needs to stay at back hes not a midfielder. He was terrific from what i saw. Harry Winks was Leeds' best player tho lol.

Another loss tho which pleases me. Spurs will improve under Conte surely. They looked dreadful what i saw but mustve improved 2nd half.

Frustrating but we just didn't have the players on the bench to be able to go up a gear. Forshaw was understandably knackered, so I can understand why he was brought off. Klich is done. He was knackered as well when he came off, but he offers nothing.

There were plenty of positives though, despite conceding 2 goals, I thought we defended well, and Harrison and James were very good , I thought. We were just missing the extra bit of quality in Rodrigo and Raphinha

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sun Nov 21, 2021 7:54 pm  

Think Raphina would make the difference today and for me Shackleton or Drameh at RB with Dallas taking Klichs position in midfield.
First half performance needed again against Brighton Saturday with Rodrigo and Raphina back.

Absolutely agree. Bielsa said in his post match interview he tried several solutions to stop spurs midfield dominance in 2nd and just couldn’t do it.

Purely and simply down to a lack of quality in the match day squad imo.
